Why do you want to learn to drive?
Seems a simply question - but one that continues to baffle at times!
Many young people are pushed into having lessons by their parents, they don’t want to drive, have no desire to drive - so why waste your money, or in most cases their parents money.
There is only a small majority that fall into this category, most people need to learn to drive - want to learn to drive and put 100% into their lessons. That’s great and always ends up with a safe competent driver at the end of their training and go on to be safe drivers for life.
The small majority where their parents pay for their lessons and they don’t want to drive - are in truth extremely difficult to teach - take 2 or 3 times longer than someone who wants to learn, but most importantly are very often not safe because they don’t want to drive!
With anything that we do - if you want to do it - you will - if you don’t - you won’t.
So before booking driving lessons or blaming the driving instructor for not getting on with your driving - think about wether or not you want to learn first!

Yes very true. Everybody should give it a thought before going to learn driving.

You have raised a valid issue, probably the most important issue one should think about before going to learn driving.
